By The first eight minutes of footage from “Kraven the Hunter” was shown off at New York Comic-Con today by Sony Pictures along with a few stills officially released that you can see below.
The footage has not been officially posted, though a new trailer is due imminently and some bits of the clip have leaked online via social media.
The sequence shows Kraven (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) stalking and brutally killing multiple people in a prison. Another clip had multiple deaths, including the use of a tree stump and a bear trap.
Taylor-Johnson was on hand to describe his character, telling the crowd (via CBM):
“He’s an apex predator, the top of the food chain. Kraven’s a hunter, not a poacher. Like every hunter knows, sometimes you have to cull the herd to preserve order. Of course, when he starts applying that to human beings, it becomes a pretty dark story.”
Director J.C. Chandor says with the film they’ve “really gotten an opportunity to dive into the Marvel characters in a really cool way”. He says they walked a “tonal balance” where “we believe in this story like it was really happening”. He also discussed the film’s R rating for “strong bloody violence, and language”:
“When the studio gave us the opportunity to see if we wanted to do this as an R[-rated] film, we were like, yes. It was an amazing opportunity. It sort of opened up some really intense kind of Grindhouse stuff on one side, and then some also really intense character stuff.”
The film also stars Ariana DeBose will play Calypso, Fred Hechinger is Dmitri Smerdyakov/The Chameleon, Alessandro Nivola as Aleksei Sytsevich/The Rhino, and Christopher Abbott as the Foreigner.
“Kraven the Hunter” opens in December.
